Having to face the brotherhood again, and with my cavalry a good deal awayfrom the crossings, i was not sure whether i could prevent Stark from washingover me. Infantry does strike back with 2 less dice when on fords, and thoselightning archers were able to rain down three dice valor hitting arrows, butthen again a pack of heavy infantry plus Jaime on the one side and Shaga onthe other were right the men i would choose to stop an onslaught.

This is the initial setup:

Smalljon and some lancers head to the bridge, the brotherhood takes the objectiveon the fords. My infantry attacks the fords and drives the brotherhood back. Theythrow themselves at the crossing again, and one cavalry unit manages to get through.My crossbowmen and Stone Crows start their take on the lancers who crossed thebridge, which had placed a defense token. They drop it to get a simultaneous counterattack and get killed.

Beric attacks the ford, a lone figure of heavy infantry holds ground. Jaime flanksthe brotherhood riders with no effect. Beric attacks again, killing my men and takingthe objective, then tries a third attack but without causing hits. Shagga advancesone field at end of round and engages Smalljon on the bridge.

Jaime flanks the Cavalry again, and my heavies engage Beric. The riders i initiallyment to send to the building flank and kill the brotherhood cavalry at the ford. Myinfantry attacks Beric again and dies because of the counter-attack. At the bridge,my Black Ears riders flank Smalljon and score some hits.

Beric and his men use the breach and cross the river, they attack, pursue andrundown my cavalry. my heavy infantry crosses the ford, too, and kills the greenwinterfell riders unit. Longbowmen take their shot at my guys and kill two heavies.My crossbowmen try and target green cav but score no hits.

The bridge looks like a stall, so Tyrion, Chella and the Black Ears ride to the ford.Tyrion rallies them and Chella commands them again, killing Starks men on the fordand retaking the objective. Shieldmaidens arrive at the building.

Morale is 4 points in favor of Stark after this round.

Chella orders herself and the Black Ear red riders, giving both plus 2 dice thisround, and they each kill a unit, collecting some ears and ripping open the crossingfor all Lannisters. Beric attacks the lone cav figure but fails to kill them, so Jaimeflanks him. Due to reduced capture rating, Jaime takes Beric and uses his commitability to rally all my units on the board.

Stark attacks Chella with archers and Cavalry, but only gets her to reducedstrength. She uses 10 ears to have Black Ears attacking Rodrik three timeswithout taking him, before herself and the riders head over to the archers onthe hill. Last hearth lancers head over to the ford, and Thoros rallies all.

Morale had gone up for Lannister a bit but drop down again to 4 points in Starks favor.

Riders of Winterfell move onto the ford, Jaime attacks them, rolls morale andadvances to retake the objective. The Smalljon disengages from Shagga, attacksother Stone Crwos, reactivates and heals himself, and moves away, in orderto be able to command some units.

Tyrion kills the brotherhood riders and attacks the Shieldmaidens on the ford.My Black Ears at the ford charge into enemy lines but end up in a bad positionand get killed by Thoros’ unit. Shagga walks onto the bridge and kills some nearbybrotherhood guys. The lancers attack Jaime without hitting him, and get shotdown to reduced strength by my crossbowmen in response. The Smalljon drivesShagga back off the bridge but cant pursue.

Morale is finally one point in favor of Lannister.

Round five:

Stone Crows cross the bridge and Shagga moves onto it again. Smalljon and hismen nearly kill the Stone Crow unit, and the archers finish them off. In turn myBlack Ears kill some archers and the remaining winterfell cav, and Tyrion finishesthose maidens.

Jaimes men kill the lancers and engage Thoros. he disengages and tries to sneakpast Jaime, but Jaime gets a lucky roll and captures him. Archers drive Shaggaoff the bridge with morale results, and the Smalljon finally crosses. But its too late.

All objectives are occupied by Lannister (Smalljon could have taken the bridge,but without effect), three Commanders got Captured (Beric, Thoros, Rodrik),and morale is deep red on Starks side.
